The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.4 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northwest (smooth).

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:51–3:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 9:21–10:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:25–9:25 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
